Plato – Greater Hippias (Büyük Hippias) – Say Yayınları Turkish Edition (2016)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Greater Hippias (Büyük Hippias) by Plato was published by Say Yayınları in 2016. Printed in Turkish, the work is one of Plato's early Socratic dialogues, focusing on the philosophical question of the nature of beauty.

In the dialogue, Socrates engages in a debate with the sophist Hippias, asking him to define what beauty truly is. As Hippias offers a series of examples rather than a universal definition, Socrates systematically examines and challenges each answer, demonstrating the difficulty of reaching a precise philosophical understanding of abstract concepts such as beauty.

Themes such as beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and philosophical inquiry appear throughout the dialogue. Greater Hippias serves as an important introduction to Plato's method of dialectical reasoning and his search for universal definitions, making it a significant work in classical philosophy and aesthetics.
